the photos were submitted to me by the top secret "for your eyes only". i originally decided not to post these photos at this unofficial c4 blog in first place because this has nothing to do with c4 to represent at all. please keep in mind, it is individual at your own risk. however c4 does value the safety in order to be able for all of us to enjoy the riding together better.

(you can click this logo to read more information about share the road)

i found this share the road to be short and sweet for anyone to remember the rule of thumb easier. but more important is for all of us to enjoy communicating in asl and sharing our same passion in cycling like road ride, mountain bike, cyclocross, velodrome & triathlon.

to only ladies of c4, can you guess who is this wacko guy riding downhill in the picture? one woman (only c4 women) who will give right answer to me first in e-mail will get a first free c4 t-shirt. (sean still owes me one brand new c4 t-shirt will be yours if you know the answer, btw to clarify it is NOT jersey one, sorry). let game begins to roll.

is cyclo-cross perfect for c4's atmosphere?

what is cyclo-cross? cyclo-cross races take place typically in the autumn and winter. alex z had a great time to make love with his special prototype rawland bike (single speed) as his mistress by racing cyclo-cross last fall to enhance the rich experience. pardon my language, i am not talking about the viagra to enhance something else. cyclo-cross is more than that and all about the perfect atmosphere for all families including kids, friends, club or team to enjoy the social and scene.

sean and i were there to give him the morale booster. we've enjoyed to witness a man who was too drunk to be psyched up. yeah, you are allowed to bring your own beer, to yell so loud, to cook your brat on griller or to exchance the words of wisdom all you want at no charge. is cyclo-cross perfect for c4's atmosphere? you bet our life!

that is where alex get his idea from his cyclo-cross to share with us and to promote our c4 club to be officially registered with usac therefore we can enjoy either to race or to host the event.

thank alex for getting us all psyched up!
